I have found a way to root the softbank p01d wich is in some aspects a similar phone. see link: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/naba_san/20120729/#1343534208
If there would be someone who can help, that would be really great!
And it would help other Panasonic eluga users too because there are already some topics asking for rooting.
Thanks

I was thinking: if I could make a custom recovery from clockworkmod custom recovery builder and root it
from there.
would this work? and how can I extract recovery.img from a non-rooted phone?
I know I could just take it from a downloaded firmware but as far as I know there are none on the internet.
thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Edit: I just found a japanese software update : panasonic.jp/mobile/support/fota/p04d/download.html
I downloaded it and extracted the *.dat file. In there are some files: mtd5 (320bytes), mtd6 (10MB), mtd8 (161Bytes), mtd9 (8.51MB),
mtd10 (207kb) and mtd13 (10.2MB). They have no extension and I can't open them.
I know they are partition files so I renamed mtd8 to mtd8.img (my guess for the recovery partition) and submitted it to the clockworkmod builder site.
Let's see if this could bring rooting the eluga a little closer :laugh:

Update:
I have found the partitions of my phone :
Now i have to pull the original recovery from mmcblk0p11 (I think).
I tried it with: (in adb shell) /system/xbin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/mnt/sdcard/recovery_main.img
But it doesn't work because it needs root for that
But I can access busybox because I accendently have been able to copy it to /system/xbin
Don't know how but it works and I can't copy any files to /xbin or /bin anymore. Otherwise it would be easy to root.
Any more help would be really helpfull because i'm not an expert modder. I know how to work with commands an adb though.
I also have a dualboot with ubuntu and windows so maybe if there are some linux tools that could do the trick...
thanks

Keep it up !
It seems that noone cares about dL 1. I would appreciate to take away the camera shutter sound and boost volume in music a bit if rooted.
Please post any updates !

---

I'll do that But at the moment it seems i'm the only one trying to root this phone
Anyway: Time for the next update:
With the X-ray security app I discovered that my device is only vulnerable to the levitator exploit.
so i made a script using that exploit:
Unfortunatly this is also giving me an error :crying: and this is the only exploit that "could" work.
So, I need some more help!
Also tried the m9.r00t.apk app (wich uses the levitator exploit). Nothing happens.
grtz

I tried every single exploit, including these:
d.hatena.ne.jp/isakulion/20120619/1340101173
www22108u.sakura.ne.jp/files/p01d/
And here is a wiki www34.atwiki.jp/eluga/pages/18.html
If I could just dump the default recovery, I could make a Clockworkmod recovery. The panasonic can flash a update from file storage.
so if I could convert that clockworkmod recovery to mtd11 and zip it in a *.dat file (standard file format for software update) I could flash it to the phone. And try to root it from there.
But first I need to dump the original recovery.
I could use some help

---

Next update:
I updated the ADB drivers from Superoneclick with those from the panasonic P04D ADB drivers.
Now it doesn't hang on step 7 but it installs busybox. But then the app freezes
Screenshots:
I also tried this method:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477752
I think my phone doesn't have fastboot I tried all button combo's but the only thing I can get into is stock recovery.
And if I type: fastboot devices, no device shows up.

@ Mods: maybe it's better to move this thread to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565

Eluga factory reset
Hi guys,
i got my eluga yesterday and ran straight into Problems. My SIM-Card i not recognized by my phone (But i know it works in other phones).
Then I tried to update the phone. At first the "smaller Gingerbread" update, which worked fine.
Still no change on SIM functionality.
After that I tried to get the ICS update running. Strange is, it downloads the package, but when going to instal it, suddenly it is not possible (research: Most others werent albe to download the package in the first place, their eluga said straight away it were up-to-date and stopped the update process).
I tried to do a factory reset with the function provided in settings. This resulted in a bootloop. It gets to the Lockscreen but i cant do anything and then it restarts over and over again. With holding the power button for a long time i am able to get it booting normal again. Just to see that nothing was done. The factory reset simply did nothing except for the bootloop and a cleared user space partition.
I wonder if theres a secret procedure to perform a reset on boot?
I also tried to gain root access but no luck so far...
With root i think the wipe could be done through adb right?
I have the suspicion that the "panasonic recovery" is damaged. This would in my noobish opinion explain why the factory reset goes wrong and the update stops when its intended to instal the rom (both actions update and reset are performed by a kind of recovery program right?).
Iam thankful for any Input
